Satori I could not agree more on what you said. One does not have to walk around with dirty panties nor not bathing for days on end. However, there is a satisfactory compromise.

I have two boys that are teenagers with raging hormones. One takes a shower twice a day using scented Shampoo, soap, and body wash. Then he comes out of the shower and puts on scented deodorant and cologne. I as a mother do not recognize my own kid by his smell.

My other son showers once a day with unscented soap and shampoo but does use a scented cream rinse in his hair because it is long. He does use an unscented deodorant and no cologne at all. I recognize his scent even in a crowd.

Neither boy smells bad but there is a difference in the way they smell to me. One is nauseating while the other one smells natural. One smells clean while the other smells like a French Whore. The one that does not use the cologne did one day and his girlfriend told him he stinks so he quit using it.

That is how I took Doktor LaVey’s writing on this was one can smell clean without smelling like a Whore. I am sure you all know what I mean by this because I am sure you have stepped into an elevator or stood in line with some one who has taken a bath in their cologne or perfume, which is so nauseating that it gags you.

I know that the "brain activity" can take place without the "brain's owner" being aware of smelling anything at all. Thats why its a good idea to smell clean with a pleasant smelling colonge or perfume. Because if someone smells something pleasant (instead of unpleasant or nothing at all) they will be encouraged to take a deep inhale of those mind altering hormones.

That doesn't make sense. If it's a good idea to wear cologne or perfume to smell "pleasant", where do these "mind altering hormones" come in? Maybe I'm misunderstanding you?

I stay away from perfumes, and certainly don't equate the smell of cologne or perfume with "clean". On rare occasion, when I do have the desire to dab a fragrance on, just a touch of vanilla works wonders for me. Less is always more, and your own natural scent doesn't get lost in the mix of things.

In the post I was replying to, they were talking about brain wave activity, pleasure senses being activated, and I changed the phrase to mind-altering instead of brain wave activity, maybe I shouldn't have done that . I actually like to smell colonge when a guy walks by. I remember them more than if they weren't wearing any.
